He was much closer to his dad so he really doesn't know me as well. So it's ever so much fun to prick his balloon. <BR/>Brent on the other hand, is much more like me and can see when I'm pulling his leg. If I said the same thing to him - about running into him in a bar and having him dance with me -he'd say sure, when - knowing neither one of us was serious.<BR/><BR/>Cindy: *g* at the moment he doesn't have much of any hair. He keeps it cut real short - which in a way is a riot. See - if it was up to me, I'd like him to have long hair - what can I say - I'm a product of my time. So while parents were disparaging over the long hair their sons insisted on when I was young, I'm disparaging that both of them keep their hair so short. So I don't know if I've given him gray hairs or not - LOL. I'm doing my best though - turnabout being fair play and all that.<BR/><BR/>Sula: at least we didn't have smoke to battle - it's against the law in all public places. But I think I mourn for all the young women. Sounds silly I know, but when I was young, that's how I met Ron. I was sitting there listening to music when this real cute guy came up and asked me to dance. I went into full-throttle lust and all the years after that, I knew he didn't care that much for dancing, but he would for me. That's something young women will never feel the thrill of today. Instead - they will dance with each other and have men with alcohol in their hands watch them - I really think that's so sad and disturbing.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-71076031692284277532007-12-10T06:50:00.000-05:002007-12-10T06:50:00.000-05:00LOLMy son's only 13, but I can't wait to scare him...LOL<BR/><BR/>My son's only 13, but I can't wait to scare him good! *cackles*Jacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13028385307133861760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-22558210345731287582007-12-10T03:20:00.000-05:002007-12-10T03:20:00.000-05:00It was very much like that when I hit the scene in...It was very much like that when I hit the scene in 1988. Maybe watching men disco dance set the entire male population on 'never ever dance' mode. My hubby will get up with me but very few men dance today. My brother says he would have to be roaring drunk and I have yet to see it happen. Getting my Dad up to dance is almost impossible but I always hit him up for a slow dance. Poor guy feels the need to talk all through the song.<BR/><BR/>I think if a man marries a woman who isn't afraid to get on the dance floor then he will become a dancer - not a good one but he'll get up there. Was at a wedding and a guy I knew from childhood has a smoking hot wife (and she's sweet too) and when the dance floor lit up she was gone. He didn't even wait - he got up right behind her!<BR/><BR/>On that note, I've always said, I have no interest in a guy who won't take a turn on the dance floor with me.<BR/><BR/>And (I'm chatty tonight) the older woman like my mom and her best friend just sit and watch us younguns and can't figure out why us woman are all dancing together. We have never known it any other way.<BR/><BR/>My mother asked me later what the dance was that we were all doing where we were pointing at each other. I realized she thought all the woman were doing a dance step when in fact we all knew the words to the show and would act like we were singing them.<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking we must look like huge goof balls but I stopped caring long ago. Go have your fun and one day someone will see you and think 'hey, now there is a woman I would like to get to know better'. Or in Bob's case 'hey, there's a woman over there having a stroke - I must go help her!' ;)<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you had a great night out! So bars stay open later now?<BR/><BR/>Yep. I would be terribly lame with my early in and early out routine ;)<BR/><BR/>Glad you didn't have a hangover. When I used to throw back I was blessed in not having hangovers. I stopped drinking because it was bloody expensive (I was poor and now I'm cheap) to get a light buzz and then end up getting up every half an hour to pee after going to bed.<BR/><BR/>AND, I'm wrapping up, really. Does Ryan have any new gray hairs? You are going to give your poor guy a stroke ;)<BR/><BR/>CIndySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-77629519942443074252007-12-10T00:04:00.000-05:002007-12-10T00:04:00.000-05:00Yeah, I honestly don't see the fun in going out to...Yeah, I honestly don't see the fun in going out to bars anymore. I'm already sleepy by the time things get started. Then there is the noise and the smoke (at least around this town). The lame dancing scene in which all of the guys stand back and watch the girls perform for them...ugh ugh ugh. There is always one guy who tries to get in the middle of the girl group and makes an ass out of himself. pfft. As for country bars, I would rather gouge my ears out with a hot poker than willingly listen to country music, so that's out too. <BR/><BR/>lol. But that's funny how your son reacted. Shock horror!sulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470361085886637371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-71902514810014701812007-12-09T21:00:00.000-05:002007-12-09T21:00:00.000-05:00Lisbea - it is so fun to wind him up.

I've heard it's different at Country bars but since A is more of a goth girl - it cracks us up to think of her in a country bar - and so far she's refusing to go :)<BR/><BR/>Katie: LOL - I don't think if I tied Ryan down and taped his eyelids open he would still watch a movie his mother lovesKristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-74285767699261771342007-12-09T19:24:00.000-05:002007-12-09T19:24:00.000-05:00You go, girl.

My bar days were the early and mid 90's, and believe me when I say, I used my time well.<BR/><BR/>I've been going to country bars, where the men still ask the women to dance.<BR/><BR/>I try to stay clear of the more popular bars because sister has a 21 year old daughter who I just know I will one day run in to when I do go out with the girls from work. I'm not relishing that thought. It's one of those things where I don't want to know what she does because I've done what she does.lol.Misty Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077243859584562508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-54066741976409128482007-12-09T18:22:00.000-05:002007-12-09T18:22:00.000-05:00SO cute and funny!
